Onset-Rime Division

Syllables are divided between the onset (consonants before the vowel) and the rime (vowel and following consonants).

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they can be naturally separated by a vowel sound.

Vowel-Centric Division

Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.

Final Syllable Stress

Stress typically falls on the final syllable in French.

  • The 'tr' cluster is treated as a single onset.
  • Nasal vowels are considered single vowel sounds forming the rime.
  • The conditional ending '-riez' is a standard suffix and doesn't present unusual syllabification challenges.
